The Issuers or the Purchase Party will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Issuers or the Purchase Party may make such cash payments by check payable in such money if the Security is not registered in the name of Cede & Co. or a nominee thereof.

The Company initially issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of February 7, 2001, between the Company and the Trustee as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 13, 2004, among the Issuers and the Trustee, the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 4, 2004, among the Issuers and the Trustee, the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 30, 2004, among the Issuers and the Trustee, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 10, 2008, among the Issuers and the Trustee, the Amended and Restated Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated January 29, 2009, among the Issuers and the Trustee and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of the date hereof, among the Issuers and the Trustee (as so amended, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect from time to time (the “TIA”).

On or after February 7, 2021, if the February 7, 2021 Average Conversion Value of a Security is greater than the Issue Price but less than or equal to 220% of the Issue Price, then the Principal Amount at Maturity of a Security will be equal to the February 7, 2021 Average Conversion Value of the Security on February 7, 2021, but in no event greater than two times the Issue Price; provided that if the February 7, 2021 Average Conversion Value exceeds two times the Issue Price, then the Principal Amount at Maturity will equal to two times the Issue Price. If that February 7, 2021 Average Conversion Values exceeds 220% of the Issue Price or is less than or equal than the Issue Price then the Principal Amount at Maturity will equal the Issue Price.

On February 7, 2021, if the average of the Conversion Values of the Security for each of the preceding 20 trading days of a Security is greater than or equal to 220% of the Issue Price of the Security, then the Security will become and remain convertible at any time thereafter at the option of the Holder, through maturity.
(b) Holders may also surrender a Security for conversion any time after the credit rating assigned to the Securities is reduced to Baa3 or lower by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or BBB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, even if the credit rating assigned has subsequently been changed to a higher rating.
(c) A Holder may surrender for conversion a Security with respect to which the Issuers have mailed a Redemption Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, even if it is not otherwise convertible at that time.
(d) If the Company elects to
-
distribute to all Holders of Common Stock certain rights entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 60 days, Common Stock at less than the Sale Price at the time, or
- distribute to all Holders of Common Stock assets, debt securities or certain rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors exceeding 15% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the day preceding the declaration date for such distribution,
the Company must notify the Holders of Securities at least 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time thereafter until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Ex-Dividend Date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place.
Contingent Cash Interest will not be paid on Securities that are converted; provided, however that Holders of Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close
13
of business on any record date for determining an obligation to pay Contingent Cash Interest to the opening of business on the date on which such Contingent Cash Interest is payable, shall be entitled to receive such Contingent Cash Interest on the date on which such Contingent Cash Interest is payable. Except Securities with respect to which the Issuers have mailed a Notice of Redemption, Securities surrendered for conversion during such periods must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the Contingent Cash Interest with respect thereto that the registered Holder is to receive.
The Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for accrued Contingent Additional Principal, if any, or Contingent Cash Interest, if any. As soon as practicable following the Conversion Date, the Issuers will deliver through the Conversion Agent, the Cash Amount, together with cash or a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock into which the Premium of any Security is converted and any cash payment for fractional shares. Delivery to the Holder of the Cash Amount, together with such cash or shares of Common Stock deliverable in connection with the Premium, will be deemed to satisfy the Issuers’ obligation to pay the Principal Amount at Maturity of and any accrued Contingent Principal Amount on the Security.
Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 9 and notwithstanding the fact that any other condition to conversion has not been satisfied, in the event the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property as set forth in Section 10.14 of the Indenture, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the date the Company announces the anticipated effective time until 15 days after the actual effective date of such transaction, and at the effective time of such transaction the right to convert a Security into Common Stock will be deemed to have changed into a right to convert it into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property which the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted its Security immediately prior to the transaction. If the transaction also constitutes a Change in Control, the Holder will be able to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of its Securities as described under paragraph 7 herein.
To convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice below (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, the Issuers or the Trustee and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The “Conversion Date” as used herein refers to the date on which all of the foregoing requirements have been satisfied.
A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the Issue Price of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the Common Stock except as provided in the Indenture. On conversion of a Security, that portion of accrued Contingent Additional Principal attributable to the period from the Issue Date through the Conversion Date and (except as provided above) accrued Contingent Cash Interest with respect to the converted Security shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through the delivery of the Cash Amount, together with cash or Common Stock in respect of the Premium, in exchange for the Security being converted pursuant to the terms hereof; and the fair market value of such cash or Common Stock in respect of the Premium, shall be treated as delivered to the extent thereof, in exchange
14
for Contingent Additional Principal accrued through the Conversion Date and accrued Contingent Cash Interest, and the Cash Amount shall be treated as delivered in exchange for the Issue Price of the Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.
The Conversion Rate will be adjusted as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture, except, during the period from and including April 30, 2009 through January 31, 2012, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 10.08(d) of the Indenture. However, no adjustment need be made if Securityholders may participate in the transaction or in certain other cases. The Company from time to time may voluntarily increase the Conversion Rate.
10. Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption.
Any Securities called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion before the close of business on the Redemption Date, shall be deemed to be purchased from the Holders of such Securities at an amount not less than the Redemption Price, by one or more investment bankers or other purchasers who may agree with the Issuers to purchase such Securities from the Holders, to convert them into Common Stock of the Company and to make payment for such Securities to the Trustee in trust for such Holders.
11. Defaulted Interest.
Except as otherwise specified with respect to the Securities, any Defaulted Interest on any Security shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant accrual date, by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid, jointly and severally, by the Issuers as provided in Section 11.02 of the Indenture.
12. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.
The Securities are in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 of Principal Amount at Maturity and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Security to be purchased in part, the portion of the Security not to be purchased) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a Notice of Redemption of Securities to be redeemed.
13. Persons Deemed Owners.
The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of this Security for all purposes.
15
14. Unclaimed Money or Securities.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return pro rata to the Issuers upon written request any money or securities held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Securities that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property laws. After return to the Issuers, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.
15. Amendment; Waiver.
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Issuers and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 or Section 10.14 of the Indenture, to secure the Issuers’ obligations under this Security or to add to the Issuers’ covenants for the benefit of the Securityholders or to surrender any right or power conferred, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or as necessary in connection with the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act.
16. Defaults and Remedies.
Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default in the payment of the Principal Amount at Maturity, Contingent Additional Principal, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price on any Security when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration, when due for purchase by the Issuers or otherwise; (ii) default in payment of any Contingent Cash Interest upon any Security, and such default shall continue for 30 days; (iii) failure by the Issuers to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Securities, subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) (a) failure of the Issuers to make any payment by the end of any applicable grace period after maturity of Indebtedness in an amount (taken together with amounts in (b) below) in excess of $100,000,000, and continuance of such failure or (b) the acceleration of Indebtedness in an amount (taken together with amounts in (a) above) in excess of $100,000,000 because of a default with respect to such Indebtedness without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled in case of (a) and (b) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Issuers by the Trustee or to the Issuers and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities then outstanding; however if any such failure or acceleration referred to in (a) or (b) above shall cease or be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default by reason thereof shall be deemed not to have occurred, or (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency affecting the Issuers or their Significant Subsidiaries. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities then outstanding may declare the Issue Price, plus any accrued and
16
unpaid Contingent Cash Interest and Contingent Additional Principal through the date of such declaration, if any, to be immediately due and payable. In case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuers, the Issue Price plus accrued and unpaid Contingent Cash Interest and Contingent Additional Principal, if any, shall automatically become immediately due and payable.
Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of amounts specified in clause (i) or (ii) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests.
17. Trustee Dealings with the Issuers.
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
18. Authentication.
This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication on the other side of this Security.
19. Abbreviations.
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY.

Any such amendment shall comply with Article 9 of the Indenture. Until an amendment, waiver
18
or other action by Securityholders becomes effective, a consent thereto by a Securityholder of a Security hereunder is a continuing consent by the Securityholder and every subsequent Securityholder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same obligation as the consenting Securityholder’s Security, even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on the Security.

If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes any provisions of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the provisions of the TIA shall be deemed to apply to the Indenture as so modified or to be excluded by this Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be.
